Dad v. Kids

..parents can get weird. Some parent killed another parent a while ago at a hockey game. THen they treat the kid like it was HIS fault. thats why my parents dont like me going into a sport unless im doing it because i LOVE it. and i DONT go into sports for them.

I agree, I hate it when dads are like that. It pisses me off. One was yelling at his kid really bad one time last year...I was ALMOST convinced to go up and punch the guy in the face and congratulate the kid...but i didn't feel like getting my ass kicked eh?

i did a camp with a dad like that. (wow!)

i had no fun

i saw a guy yelling at a kid and thought wat a fag
but then later i found out it wasn't even his son

so i went over to the sons dad and told him wat the guy did to his son
he got mad and the guy got the crap kicked out of him

it was so funny!!!

lol, i dunno if that is such a good move though...

those dads need to know the differance between encouragement, and abuse. yelling at you kid will not make him faster, but telling him what he could have done better will.

I hate when i seen dads like that at races.. I can't count how many times I've seen a dad gettin on his son that just started racing. I was at a race about 3 years ago and as i was coming back from practice the 85s were goin out to practice.. There was a kid and his dad parked 3 spots down from us and from the minute the kid got on the track to the time he got off his dad was out there givin him sh!t. Runnin to different parts of the track yellin stuff at him.. Then when the kid got back to his trailer his dad was using a pretty loud tone of voice with him sayin if he didnt put some effort into hit was gonna pack their shit up and leave and how terrible he looked out there cause he wasnt hittin on the jumps .. Just flat out rippin this poor kid a new ass.. Finally after his first moto, my dad heard enough of the kids dad yellin at him and went and had a talk to him.. Luckily no punches were thrown and the kids dad easied up a little.. My dad never really got on me about ridin because he rides on tracks too so he knows what its like.

ive had my trouble with parents. my lil brother.. a 85 rider.. gets protested by some asshole dad just because his kid was down in points after only riding 1 out of the three tracks in the series.. he comes in at the last moment riding all the tracks trying to rack up points. so what does he do? this is 85 C class.. and theres a gap in the rule for the Bigwheel 85s/ This dude( nick stephens racing) protested every single one of the kids riding 85 big wheels. Theres a major gap in the AMA's rules there and it doesnt specify rules for 85 C nor anything about big wheel bikes for this class. by the way.. he ended up finishing third in the series because of these protests.. they knocked all these kids down in points because of the DNF's they received. shows what some people will do just to win an 85 C series. then at the banquet( which we didnt attend) my friends were over there sitting at a table and the kid comes up and says whatd u guys finish and they said whatever they got... and then the kid says haha i ended up with 3rd overall... and just bragging n all this crap. i really dont like when parents get involved with their kids racing. its like that in many sports. let the kids race or play their sport. be there to support them.. not make hell for other people and especially dont make it hell for your own children. ( note: after all of this is said and done... we find out the district allows 85 big wheels in the class... after these kids lost all their points)
